Google+ now has direct download links for Play Store apps

There’s a cool little feature that’s just been implemented in Google+. Whenever a user links to an app in the Play Store on G+, that post will have a direct download link that users can download the app from without being redirected to the Play Store page. Not a huge feature, but little things like that make the user experience that much better.

Google+ has done an excellent job of setting up new ways to share content with friends and family, from music, movies, and now applications. And with Google+ naturally growing in size, it’s great to see Google trying to help it along and adding new features for users.

This is no big deal. Clicking the install button does not pop-up the installation window. It opens a new tab and opens the linked Google Play page just the same way it would when clicking on the link. So, the install button is basically a show off.
